http://www.sockdreams.com/weblog/2009/1 Lindsay was easily one of my favorite people at work; even besides being efficient as hell and someone I could count on to keep my section exactly as I like it, she was a delightful person to work with. She was always chipper and ready with a joke and a dance, and her loss will be sorely felt throughout Sock Dreams. I will miss my Dream Stockings Lieutenant and my very dear friend. I've heard her in the warehouse all day, making fun of me for being so damn mopey. I hope you're in a better place, Linds, and that you have many a field to frolic in and plenty of pillaging to do. Kick ass, woman. |

Jon is trying to put together a metal band (which is awesome). Facebook update: Jon got an awesome response from a prospective singer: "I will give you my eyes if I can sing with you." The enthusiasm is great, and sacrificing body parts is very metal. She gets a gold star in my book. IM conversation: Jon: I'm meeting singer in an hour and a half. feeling excited. me: Oooo nice. Do you have a jar for her eyes? Jon: tupperware- keeps them fresh longer :-) |

Got a better picture for you folks, courtesy of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} b_zedan. It's kinda gross and crusty looking, due to being gross and crusty. Lotion is my best friend these days. There are a couple lines that didn't come out quite right, but my tattoo artist said that touchups are free, so I'll just have him fix 'em up next month when I'm healed. |

Friends and other lunatics, I now have ink embedded in my flesh. Apologies for the picture being all crappy and cameraphoney, but there it is, just after I got it. Today it is a bit less red round the edges. It is so goddamn cool and I am so happy. |

(At the Dunns' for dessert the other night.) Jon's Grandma: Laurie, those roses are beautiful! (To me) I particularly like roses because my maiden name is Rose. Laurie: Yes, if Jon had been a girl, his middle name would have been Rose. [His middle name is Loomis, which is Laurie's maiden name.] Me: Oh, my middle name is Rose! Grandma: (Beams!) Well that is just wonderful. Jon, you're going to have to do something about that! Jon and me: (Embarrass) Grandma: I can get away with stuff like that because I'm the grandma. :D [NOT EVEN KIDDING, SHE SAID THAT, HOW HILARIOUS IS SHE.] Anyway, god Amanda, shut up about your boyfriend already, nobody wants to hear it. |

One of the very best things about having dinner with Jon and his parents is that Jon's mom is absolutely fantastic about showing me all the best pictures of baby Jon, and telling me the most hilariously adorable baby Jon stories. Tonight's addition to that is that apparently when Jon was a little boy and very into dinosaurs (a phrase which may very well be redundant), apparently he pronounced "triceratops" as "tay-toppy-tops." Tay-toppy-tops. Seriously dudes, I laughed for like ten minutes straight. The fact that Jon takes this in stride and does not hate me or his mother after such episodes is yet another testament to how wonderful he is. |

I don't update very much anymore. Haven't really got anything to say. I mean, I could talk about my work, which I try not to do too often because it's either stuff I oughtn't share, or HEY GUYS BUY STUFF FROM MY WORK (which, for the record, you totally should). I could talk about how I am in a relationship with the best dude in the history of dudes, but uh, I kinda do that all the damn time and I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear it at this point. So. What do you want to hear about? Ask me anything. Not going for some weird anonymous sort of meme, just wondering if anyone wants to hear about anything in my life. I make no promises to answer everything, nor do I have any particular limits about the sort of questions I'm looking for. ARE YOU THERE LIVEJOURNAL? IT'S ME, AMANDATHEGREAT. |

I was stressed out yesterday. Then I went over to Jon's, and he gave me kisses and chocolate ice cream, and we watched The Importance of Being Earnest, and after that we had a discussion about Star Wars and how rad it would be if there were Bantha Jedi. Great boyfriend, or greatest boyfriend? |

me: Man it is your fault I am sick, jerkface. Daniel: no way what are you symptoms? me: Tons and tons of snot drooling out of my nose? Daniel: ...and? me: Sore throat, but that's probably the fault of the snot as well. I also just feel crappy. Daniel: look. that is nothing like what i had. me: Uh-huh. What did you have? Daniel: my eyes turned into lasers. (which SOUNDS cool, but it really just a pain in the ass) and my throat just left my body like, put in a hat, packed a suit case and was like, "fuck THIS, I'm out" and my nose started pouring delicious LEMONADE which I drank and gave to all my friends and they said, 'this is the best lemonade ever' "we wish you were always sick" and the all gathered around me and hugged me and for a moment... I wished I WAS always sick. |

me: One of my internet friends just posted an article about a dude who had his fifth-grader help him dispose of a hooker corpse. If that's not a great reason to have kids, I don't know what is. Jon: Does it tell on the back end how the kid told all his friends and his teacher the 'cool' thing he did last night and that's how the dude was caught? me: Yeah, that's pretty much how it went. Still though. If I had a dollar for every time I wished I had an extra pair of hands when I dispose of MY hooker corpses. Jon: True |

This is what I gave Jon for his birthday yesterday. It came out very well and I am ever so happy with it, which is good because he quite liked it as well. Best girlfriend = me. :D |

Every so often I feel the need to update you people on the state of my love life, because it's the internet and I assume you all care deeply. When last I mentioned it, I was seeing Elliott again. Considering we broke up in October, for good this time, I think it's high time I got you all up to speed again. So, Elliott's gone, I'm pretty okay with that although I wish we could be closer friends again. I was single for about six months, and was really getting used to the idea when I met Jon. You guys, let me tell you about Jon. ( How we met. ) Anyway, having got over all the pre-relationship madness, we're now dating and it is nothing short of completely fucking awesome. Let me tell you how great this guy is: 1. He's a grownup, which means he has a job and an apartment and a car. This is pretty amazing in comparison to other dudes I have known. 2. He plays violin (I haven't heard him play yet, but I understand he is pretty dang good at it). 3. He wants to form a metal band wherein he plays said violin, and he has written some music for it. This music is totally sweet and I am not just saying that. 4. He is completely laid back and not inclined to worry about stupid shit. This rules so hard I cannot even explain it. 5. He is a most excellent kisser. 6. He cooks. He cooks. This man feeds me. I think it is obvious how great this is. 7. As noted above, he is a good dancer. Being somewhat dancey myself, this is a plus. 8. And even besides all that, he is smart and funny and interesting and definitely easy on the eyes. And that's not even the half of it. In conclusion, I am REALLY happy about this here business. I have no idea how I managed this, but it is awesome. Amanda wins this game. |
